Clockwork Garden: Illusion of Time
*In the place of what once was Izanami's Garden a new place emerges. From left to right it seems the flow of time here is disrupted. As you go further to the right the garden becomes more decayed and barren while on the other hand the further you go to the left the more lively the garden appears to be. It seems as though time changes for anything without a will of it's own within this place depending on where it is. In the center stand two beings at a tables with a clock in the middle. The two beings appear to be fighting over something.*
*whispers* I hope I'm not interrupting.
"I feel a presence approaching..."

*One of the beings appears to suddenly be standing in front of Bona.*

Who are you? One who has an interesting fate perhaps?

*The being stand tall as a humanoid figure covered in metal plating and clockwork.*
What the- Sorry if I'm interrupting. My name is bona. I was walking through this garden when all of a sudden I ended up here.
*Kalib approaches the garden, carefully approaching the figures. Trying his best to keep hidden as he watches the figure speaking to Bona.*
I see. That is only natural given the nature of this place. I am simply keeping a captive here so nothing has been interrupted.

I am Chronos, the god of time and fate and this is a place ruled by both death and time now.
That's interesting. Well how did it happen? You don't have to tell if you want. I'm just interested.
The goddess who previously held dominion over this place has strayed from her true purpose and thus I have made this place her prison.
Oh. OK. Well that's interesting.
*Kalib brings a hand to his chin.*

Interesting...
Perhaps, but I am more intrigued by what time tells for the mortals who find themselves in this world of worlds.
What do you mean?
This world is an abomination of time and space, it is my duty to maintain such things and such I have a duty to destroy this world. However, I am curious as to the residents here for to exist in such a world time must have a significant influence on them.
Gin
*A wild Gin appears*
What's with you gods and always sounding like you just leapt from the pages of an epic?
*Has wandered in, lost*
Looks like..... Home.
Well from what I understand time doesn't stand still here. It still moves. But I don't know much else.
I've been around as long as time itself and since removing my human self I have learned to work more efficiently. A god who serves no purpose shouldn't exist and a God who defies their purpose must be punished.
Gin
Unlike us humans, you have all the TIME in the world, huh old man?
*A black mist fills the room, creating the form of a demon*

Then what am I?
Gin
A Silent Hill reject?
Piss off fleshbag. I was not questioning you. Don't you have some dirt to be living in?
*The clockwork God looks down at Gin.*

I'm starting to like you, mortal.

*The clockwork God looks over to the Dark Messiah.*

You are a being who's duty lies in punishing the wicked, correct?
*Looks at Clockwork_God with a smirk*

I suppose you could say that.
As long as a deity follows their fate then I have no reason to oppose them, even if that fate is to destroy all of human kind.
*Gives an evil chuckle*

I'm starting to like you Chronos. You are an interesting fellow. Although I am destined to bring about the downfall of humanity, I try to find other purpose in life. Is that fair?
Well, if I could call it life.
*Turns to other being at table*
Who are you?
I suppose so, as long as you do not forget that purpose or try to disrupt the flow of time then nothing you do would disturb me.
*A glass wall encases the table blocking Stella off.*

I'd prefer if you didn't speak to my prisoner.
Gin
He's a silent hill reject. I thought I already mentioned that.
Walking in i whistle with my hands in my pocket. "Well you never know what exploring will bring. Nice place here." I walk over to the group. "Heyoo peoples!"
Gin
Heyoo Person.
Perhaps this one has an interesting fate as well?
Gin, I will end your life if you continue your useless insults.

@Clockwork_God
Oh, don't worry. I fully intend to follow the timeline. It's just that I enjoy meddling in the affairs of others, is all.
Hey shadow.
"Hahaha. Probably not. Though the thought is appreciated. And what are we all talking about? And who's the prisoner behind the glass?"
That is none of your concern, she is simply a goddess who thought to give up on her proper fate.
Gin
If they were so useless, I wouldn't be riling you up, would I reject? Still, I guess ticking off someone with such an... interesting aura would be bad for my health.
"Oooo fun. Over turning fate. That's fun. What was her original?" I lean against the glass. "This may be fun. And hey back at ya."
Hmm...
*nods, then leaves*
She was meant to fulfill humanities desires of ignorance, She thought to take on a new path to fulfill different desires. The desire for peace, I cannot allow such a turn of fate to go unpunished.
@Gin
I am not "Riled", as you put it. I am simply annoyed at your insolence. Believe me, stopping would be your best course of action.
Gin
A goddess of dreams maybe? Or perhaps, one of death.
Grinning I lean a little more against the glass and tap my fingers on it. "Are you saying that even a turn like that is unacceptable? I do believe she has her own will. She should do what she wishes."
Her name is Izanami. She failed her purpose, and will now be left to rot within that cell. Good riddance.
Yes, Izanami, goddess of death and lies. It seems she had a change of heart because of the words of a mortal, how disgusting...Abandoning your purpose for a mortal.
Sighing I look at the two. "Well I fee like you two and I won't get along in the slightest. It's touching really in my opinion. Mortals after all, have the most potential out of all beings."
Gin
Gods aren't perfect either, it seems.
(Feel*)
That is why they must follow their purpose, giving into a mortals desires...That's why I Split apart in the first place...Such things must not be tolerated.
"Well I reckon just talking to us is abandoning your purpose isn't it? On that level you are no better than her."
My purpose is to maintain time and fate, talking to you leads to no issue for just being near you allows me to learn of your memories thus bringing me closer in assisting in the destruction of this world.
Gin
I don't think the world wants your "assistance" in it's destruction.
"Well I'm sorry but I won't allow that to happen. Now tell me how destructible is the glass? It'll be fun."
If you wish to destroy the glass, go ahead. As for the assistance, I know that this world wishes not to be destroyed but it must be destroyed regardless. The one I am assisting knows of a way to do so as well.
Gin
The one you're assisting... And who may that be? Judging by how claim to be Chronos, god of time, would it be Zeus? Hades? Kronos?
None of those divines would be strong enough to destroy a world of worlds such as this, the one I speak of is the crawling chaos. The one who is formed from the darkness that resides within all ego.
"Well as nice as that is, we shall stop that creeping darkness. As for the glass we'll..." Grinning I grab my sword and hold onto the blade. "I say be free Izanami!" I swing the swords handle into the glass attempting to break it.
Gin
So you've abandoned the king of the heavens for some foolish venture. Then I suppose that means you've abandoned your duties as well. Heh. You're a hypocrite, old man.
*The sword hits the glass shattering it.*

Time Reversal...

*Suddenly time around the glass rewinds and the glass is reformed.*

Time Stop...

*The sword appears in Clockwork God's hand as he throws it onto the ground.*

You all simply live within time. I am time itself.
I am Chronos and as time itself does, I serve no one.
"Hmm so it can be broken... interesting..." Smirking I turn to Chronos. "I bet it's a good thing then that I simply don't give a shit. You may be a god, but I am a mortal." Smiling I take a few steps towards Chronos. "Meaning I shall follow my own rules." Turning I sprint into the glass shoulder first trying to break it and if I make it through I grab hold of Izanami.
You do not seem to understand the true meaning of my power...

Time Reversal...

*As FireShadow breaks through the glass reaching for Izanami time is shifted back once again and he ends up standing in front of the spear as before.*
"Oh no I understand fully. I'm just running tests at the moment. I must admit your gullibleness is highly appreciated." Grinning I lean against the glass and toy with something under my jacket.
Gin
*Gin throws a ring at the glass. It explodes, sending Izanami flying backwards*
Regardless of what you do, you cannot fight against time itself.
Time reversal...

*The sphere is reformed with Izanami inside and the ring reforms frozen in the air.*

Let me show you...

Time warp!

*The ring is sent back at Gin at an astonishing speed.*
"Not happening!" I tackle Gin to the ground and throw a small pin into the sphere hopefully barely cracking it.
Gin
*Gin spawns one of his swords and swings it like a baseball bat, knocking the ring Chronos. It blows up in his face.*
Suck it, old man.
Gin
*Gin is tackled to the ground mid gloat*
*Chronos is blown back by the explosion.*

I applaud your effort but all you do is in vain.

Time reversal.

*Time reverses around Chronus as the damage done by the explosion is undone.*
Gin
You sit a bit too close to the glass, you know that?
* Gin smirks, pointing at the broken glass and the missing Izanami*
Looking up at Chronos I smile a little and whisper faintly into Gins ear. "It seems he can only reverse one event at a time. Toss a few at him all at once."
It seems you both underestimate my dominion over time. This was just an ounce of my power.

Gears of Time!

*Giant mechanical gears flow throughout the ground and begins glowing.*

Now it's time to go back to the beginning.
"Now Gin! Let's take him out!" Grabbing more pins from my pockets I toss them into parts of his body trying to stun or knock him out.
Gin
Got it. *Gin tosses five exploding rings in quick succession. They all detonate in various locations on his body*
It's time...

*The gears glow brightly as the area is enveloped in a bright glow*

*A garden resides here.*
